Title:Two-body problem in general relativity: A heuristic guide for the Einstein-Rosen bridge and EPR paradox

Abstract: Between 1935 and 1936, Einstein was occupied with the Schwarzschild solution
and the singularity within it while working in Princeton on the unified field
theory and with his assistant Nathan Rosen, on the theory of the Einstein-Rosen
bridges. He was also occupied with quantum theory. He believed that quantum
theory was an incomplete representation of real things. Together with Rosen and
Boris Podolsky he invented the EPR paradox. I demonstrate that the two-body
problem in general relativity was a heuristic guide in Einstein's and
collaborators' 1935 work on the Einstein-Rosen bridge and EPR paradox.
